I was not spoon feeding them how to stop bots. I was spoon feeding them how to develop a script to detect autolocks. If you read the thread, and if you know me, I hate autolocks!Quote:
Apparently, I'm one of the few people that have a problem with what JD has said. He's basically spoon feeding them how to stop bots from working, or banning people that use a bot. Sure, they may have had ideas how to stop botters, but now that they here it coming from one of the best known devs, you can bet they will start doing little things here and there to help ban botters. Sure, they won't go into a purge mode and get rid of all the botters, that would kill the game entirely, but they will be watching the higher ranking players that don't pay much money for the game.
I did find it interesting though that they banned JD, as he wasn't doing anything wrong, and he did have a lot of good pointers (such as the way to get rid of autolocks)
Also, to me, it kind of looked like JD was trying to get hired by DO, he brought it up a couple times that he had wanted to join them at the beginning, and it looked like he was kind of putting in his application, with all the postings about how difficult it was creating a bot, that he was fluent in 10 different languages, and he knew how to stop bots from working correctly
Was I the only person that saw it? JD, if you could clear this up for me, that would be great
No I wasn't fishing for a job. Never at bigpoint! I was simply pointing out the fact, in plain terms to a poster on the thread, how bots are so hard to develop. I also don't think I mentioned once how to stop bots, I simply reiterated what bigpoint HAD DONE in the PAST as bigpoint say they are doing all this stuff to catch bots, but where they lack, is technical details that actually prove they are doing something. I think that all players, whether botters or not, should know what Bigpoint are doing to their game, and I will be just as friendly to legitimate players as to botting players, as at the end of the day, we are all still players!
